Milestone represents mainstream consumer adoption of Interactive Services
Nashville, TN –
ESX 2012 – June 26, 2012 – Alarm.com, the leading provider of interactive
security services, announced that it surpassed1 million active subscribers in
Spring 2012. This represents over 1
million properties and millions of individual users protected and empowered by
Alarm.com and its Partners. The Alarm.com Partner community has grown its user
base significantly year-over-year through a dedication to innovative technology
that improves the security and overall user experience for its customers. This milestone signifies the mass market
adoption of interactive services. The
consumer expectation of a security system has evolved and Alarm.com and its
Partners have led the way with industry leading technology and services that
meet the new customer demands.
"With the support
of an outstanding Partner community, what began as a skunk-works R&D project
more than a decade ago has evolved into a company that continues to thrive and
innovate" said Steve Trundle, President and CEO, Alarm.com. "While the
milestone was achieved some time ago, we decided to hold the announcement until
ESX so that we could share our excitement with our Partners who have helped us
each step of the way."
Alarm.com has
helped to revolutionize the way people interact with their homes and businesses
by enabling interactive security, energy management, video monitoring and home
automation. The vast majority of Alarm.com subscribers are on Interactive
Services accounts and are deeply engaged with their security solution. With
such large scale adoption, interactive services have expanded the purpose of
what was traditionally only an intrusion security solution and become an
everyday part of users' lives.
"Our
recent report projects that US revenues for smart home systems and
services will hit $7.6 billion this year, driven in part by consumers'
desire for enhanced security and control systems with mobile apps,
self-controlled lights, thermostats, locks and cameras such as those offered by
Alarm.com," said Bill Ablondi, Director of Smart Home Strategies at research
firm Strategy Analytics. "Alarm.com has shown a consistent ability
over the past several years to anticipate market trends – and then develop
products and services enabling dealers to meet the evolving needs of their
customers."
Over twelve years
ago the company created the first completely wireless web-enabled interactive
security services and has continued to drive innovation and deliver industry
firsts year after year. The company's
one-millionth subscriber comes on the tail of recent key announcements
including its launch of image sensor
services, location-based
services, a partnership
with Verizon Wireless, and the release of its native iPad app and native
Windows mobile app to expand its full suite of
mobile integration.
